About this city

Also known as: Idaho's River City

Post Falls is a rapidly expanding suburban riverfront city in Kootenai County, Idaho, beautifully positioned along the thundering Spokane River just east of the Washington state border. Founded in 1871 by pioneer Frederick Post, who purchased the site from Native American Chief Seltice to establish a massive water-powered lumber mill, the city was long tied to timber processing. Today, it serves as a highly progressive residential metropolis and industrial center, blending extensive lakeside canyon trails with vibrant tech development.
